George Foreman
During the ‘60s and ‘70s, George Foreman was considered to be one of the greatest fighters alive. In 1977, he retired after losing a match to Jimmy Young. After experiencing a “religious epiphany,” he worked to become a Christian minister. In 1994, however, he returned to the boxing wrong. At the age of 45, he was able to KO Michael Moorer and regain his title. He made history by doing this as the oldest heavyweight boxing champ prior to his second retirement. These days, he works as a ringside analyst for HBO and profits from his Foreman grill patent.
MC Hammer
To some people, the name MC Hammer equals financial ruin. This rapper made headlines when he blew through his fortune and declared bankruptcy in the ‘90s. He was able to make a comeback and is now thought to be a pioneer of the pop-rap genre. Did you that he became a preacher after retiring from music? This is what he does now. In the late ‘90s, he even had a Trinity Broadcast Network show called MC Hammer and Friends. He also had a reality show called Hammertime.
